Please elucidate my doubt regarding Performance Appraisal.
Why it is done with the purpose of Promotion or for rise in pay. Every one says that Performance Appraisal is a tool, which facilitate personnel development because through this we come to know about the key strengths and the areas on which an individual need to work upon to make his work as well as himself more efficient and productive.
But it’s very clear that Appraisal is done with the purpose of Promotions due to which even today Performance reviews are considered as a painful ritual. Very few of us actually enjoy hearing about our shortcomings and few of our bosses and colleagues always look forward to expose them, which in turn leads to no change in the employees behaviour and skills as well because some where in the mind its set that it is going to affect his image and in turn his promotion.
If it will be very lucid in the mind of the employees that Performance Appraisal is actually happening with the idea of Individual growth, employees will feel free to come out of the shell and will be interested to know about their shortcomings and probably we can ensure the positive change in an individual.
Recently I got a mail which was suppose to be hilarious, but I found actuality in that:
People who do lots of work...
make lots of mistakes
People who do less work...
make less mistakes
People who do no work...
make no mistakes
People who make no mistakes...
gets promoted
That's why I spend most of my time
sending e-mails & playing games at work
I need a promotion
